The Importance of Copies

Friday, October 19th, 2007

As any good SEO person knows, it’s always good to have copies of the work you’ve done. What if something goes wrong and the site you spent a good 4 hours on goes up in smoke? That’s where backups come into play of course. Copies of your images, content, CSS, and the PHP/HTML files if it’s applicable. Of course, it’s always good to have a copy of those as well, but it depends just how much you’re allowed to edit those files.

I suggest writing everything down in a MS Word document or my personal favorite, a plain old .txt file. I keep files on everything like this site that I had done recently. Keeping copies of files also helps in the development of future sites. I can’t tell you how much time my former sites done had saved me in completing future sites. If you can’t find anything that matches the file you’re working on (like if you only have content on cabinets when you need water slides) then Wikipedia is an excellent place to grab content. Also learn about things you hadn’t known before. Just remember. Backups, backups, backups. I guarantee at some point you’re going to need ‘em.
